Description

The ol' Railroading GM gets a bad rap in tabletop gaming. And perhaps rightly so. But what if I told you that every game with a planned story arc has rails?

Learn the sliding scale of 4 different ways to run your games, from Hard Rails to Soft Rails and Choose Your Own Adventure to Sandboxes. Pick up on the pitfalls and player perspectives on each. And discover how to turn each of them into versatile tools for your GM toolbox. All on today's episode!
